Description:

Introduction The Solar and Magnetospheric Theory group is based within the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews. Click here to see a list of our recent publications. We currently have 28 members of the group involved in different areas of observational and theoretical solar/magnetospheric research, this includes professors, teaching staff, postdoctoral researchers, a Royal Society University Research Fellow and postgraduate students. We also have prestigious emeritus and honorary staff members who contribute to our research. We are a large group of applied mathematicians who study the Sun and the Earth's magnetosphere using mathematical modelling techniques. Observational data from satellites (e.g., SDO, Hinode, and Cluster) and from ground based observatories (e.g., Kitt Peak, Big Bear and EISCAT) are used to constrain our models and improve the validity of our results. We also have close collaborations with the solar groups at Glasgow and Dundee. Interested in a PhD on a solar-related topic? See our Phd Positions page for more details. Farewell to Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group postdoc Petros Syntelis. Petros came to the School in 2016 after completing his PhD at the University of Athens. He has now started a training programme in artificial intelligence in London. Congratulations to Alan Hood on winning the Royal Society of Edinburgh Lord Kelvin Medal for his internationally commended work in theoretical and computational solar physics which has helped to enhance understanding of the solar atmosphere. Alan’s award of what is the Senior RSE prize for Physical, Engineering and Informatics Sciences was officially announced today.. June 2020 Prestigious award for Professor Eric Priest Professor Eric Priest of the University of St Andrews has been awarded the Senior Prize of the European Solar Physics Division of the European Physical Society. Further information here. New vacancy for a Research Fellow in the SMTG. See the vacancies page. The group will be hosting the latest Solar Orbiter discussion meeting on 13-14 January 2020. Further details can be found on the meeting website. It is with some sadness and best wishes that the group says goodbye to two postdocs: Dr Tom Elsden is leaving the group to take up a Leverhulem Early Career Fellowship at Leicester University, while Dr Patrick Antolin has taken up a lecturership at Northumbria University. We wish both well in their new posts! Our PhD student Erin Goldstraw succesfully passed her viva, congratulations Dr Goldstraw!
